The "Make it happen" challenge.

Every now and then I come up with a cool idea. It's usually for a film or web series or tv show. Sometimes it's an idea for a book. Occasionally it's a business idea. And once in a while it's a diabolical plot to take over the world.

I nurture the idea for a while showering it with the right amount of love and attention, but then abandon it. A bit like a young, recent unwed mother who after total maternal devotion loses all hope and then one dark night dumps her baby on a stranger's doorstop hoping they will take care of it.

Well I've decided to find my own "stranger's doorstep". So I'm launching a new segment on godpoop, which will appear on the first and third Fridays of every month. I call it "Make it Happen" and it's my crowd-sourcing challenge to see if my big ideas can come to fruition thanks to the rich community of creatives, writers, artists, designers, inventors, scientists, architects, pharmacologists, techies, provocateurs, ethicists, military contractors, etc.

So to the inaugural "Make it Happen" brief:

MIH Brief 001

OBJECTIVE:  

Create a musical. I call it, "Boo Radley wants his cocaine". It's the tale of Boo's rise from idiot son to drug baron and then back to idiot son again.

THOUGHT STARTERS: 

  -  Think "Blow" meets "Shrek".
  -  What would Andrew Lloyd Webber do?

  -  Possible opening lyrics for intro song:  

He was six-and-a-half feet tall, judging from his tracks,

he dined on raw squirrels and lots of cats.

There was a long jagged scar that ran across his face,

the neighbors thought he was a basket-case.

What teeth he had were yellow and rotten,
his eyes popped, and he drooled most often.

Who? Who? Who is Boo?

MANDATORIES:

  -  It must be in English.
  -  The title must be, "Boo Radley wants his cocaine". No derivations, please.

  -  Boo Radley must be of mixed-race. 

Good luck and make it happen, people!
